"What if, here me out here, Ryles didn't want him? Is that MON's fault? Not denying MON has had blunders but what if Ryles preferred to go elsewhere>"

"I do not have an issue with different opinion but how it will be used as a MON bashing when i could have been a Ryles call is what annoys me.  "

"Whilst I completely agree with everything you've said here, we also have to put ourselves into positions where we can blood these sort of players and actually see what they're really made of. Sometimes unique players like this just blossom in 1st…"

"All very true words.
However if history is of any indication, this club don't do well in indentifying and retaining good talent."

"He will go backwards under Meninga in my opinion. "

"I reckon we'll be ok... given injuries that squad is fine and it did the job against the Dogs.
Kelly... maybe, but he had some good attack and a heap of big carries last game. Penis as well. Critical of both but if they carry like that and power the…"

"I think the fact that he has only played 1 part NRL game at 22 years old, and has moved around position in lower grades suggest that the coaching staff don't see him as a lock-in for any key position other than fullback, which we have sorted now.…"

"Will be a great player, we cannot afford to lock up $300k (assuming) for 3 years on a 3rd string fullback/ half. Has 2 players infront of him in both positions. Hope he is very successful at the Bears. Will be good to watch him develop in first…"

"Plenty of young players have to move clubs to be successful and is part of the game.  It isn't until a club doesn't offer a contract or value they think they are worth, that it is the kick up the area they need to refocus and reach potential.  For…"

"If he is such a talent why didn't bulldogs match the bears offer.  Why weren't other clubs looking at this generational talent.  Didn't they see his 2 tries on the wing against a tigers defence missing a player.  A lot of fans look at highlight…"

"Manly have had a run of easy games and the emotion boost of adding Foz will be wearing thin.  Also with Tommy T gone they seem to drop as a team so I give us some hope. 
As for young players like Nanva missing out, I don't really mind.  Look at the…"

"So we get rid of Iongi and play him 1? "

"Some players play better against better opposition. Maybe he's that type of player?  Dunno enough about him really. Loved his bone-crunchers though. Will it continue?  "

"I think he maybe called Nostradamus"

"What if Ryles is the one that said to MON he wants Lorenzo?
The main job of MON is to provide players for Ryles, if Ryles said he wants Lorenzo, MON will put attention into Lorenzo."

"Shame, but not surprising with a new club throwing around big money.I would've liked to see him get a shot on the wing, but realistically if he sees his future as a fullback/No6 he needs to move.Considering at Parra he's behind Joash and Isaiah for…"
